celebrate our WINTER / WARMING SHELTER success (it's a banquet)

BANQUET for the Martinsville WINTER / WARMING SHELTER
Tuesday, March 31st at 7pm; Salvation Army gym
RSVP by replying to this email

Hello friend of the homeless,

It is amazing to look back over the last three and half months and see all we have been able to accomplish through the Martinsville WINTER / WARMING SHELTER.  The only way we could have had the success we've experienced is to acknowledge that this would not have been possible without the help of all our partners and volunteer team team.

You are invited to a celebration.  On Tuesday, March 31st at 7pm there will be a CELEBRATION BANQUET for the Martinsville WINTER / WARMING SHELTER.  This will take place at our shelter, the Salvation Army at the corner of Bridge Street and Memorial Boulevard in Martinsville.  

All volunteers, partners, those who donated and friends are encouraged to take part in this celebration, and you are welcome to bring your spouse or a friend.  Also pass this invitation on to others who may not be getting this email.

Please RSVP by replying to this email or by letting myself or Mary Wampler know you plan to attend.  Watch for emails and more information next week about what you will need to bring (like food and donations to help those in need).

I cannot wait to celebrate with you and all who made our winter shelter a great success!

Have you heard of EDITH BURNS?

Edith Burns was a wonderful Christian who lived in San Antonio, Texas . She was the patient of a doctor by the name of Will Phillips. Dr. Phillips was a gentle doctor who saw patients as people. His favorite patient was Edith Burns.  One morning he went to his office with a heavy heart and it was because of Edith Burns.  When he walked into that waiting room, there sat Edith with her big black Bible in her lap earnestly talking to a young mother sitting beside her.  Edith Burns had a habit of introducing herself in this way: "Hello, my name is Edith Burns.  Do you believe in Easter?" Then she would explain the meaning of Easter, and many times people would be saved.  Dr. Phillips walked into that office and there he saw the head nurse, Beverly. Beverly had first met Edith when she was taking her blood pressure. Edith began by saying,"My name is Edith Burns. Do you believe in Easter?"  Beverly said, "Why yes I do."  Edith said, "Well, what do you ...

wash feet, sharing hope

  John 13:4-5,14 NLT  So he got up from the table, took off his robe, wrapped a towel around his waist, 5 and poured water into a basin. Then he began to wash the disciples’ feet, drying them with the towel he had around him… 14 And since I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you ought to wash each other’s feet. Jesus set the example we follow.  He served.  He valued and gave value to others.  That is why we choose to serve. For 18 years our church has shared an outreach called back2school, and for 16 of those years we have chosen to give students brand new shoes and socks as well as washing their feet.  It is one of the most important parts of this event. Washing feet is a humbling experience where both the give and the receiver learn how to share some moments that might change their lives.  Jesus said we should do this.  See the verse above.  Follow His example, do what He did, and give far more than you will ever know....
